Clear the table, chairs and route before anyone lifts. Note whether the top separates from the base and whether leaves, glass panels or stone inserts can be moved independently.
Flag fragile or dense materials
Glass edges, stone tops and solid hardwood change the handling plan. Share the table dimensions, material and floor level when you call so the visit can be planned with the right people and equipment.
Protect the route
Open doors, move rugs and create a landing area outside. Avoid pivoting with a heavy tabletop in your hands; twisting under load is a known ergonomic risk.
